New YORK, Aug. 24.-The Ives reference case
was begun to-day before ex-Judge Noah DAVIS,
and Mr.. Henry s. Ives was placed on the wit
ness stand. He was examined by Mr. Aigernon
s. Sullivan, attorney for assignee Cromwell He

1887, and turned over to the assignee as being
the current ledger of the firm. He rememo ered
referring to the ledger preceding this one short
time before the assignment was made, perhaps
ten days previous. He could not remember who
he asked for the book. When it was brought to
him he believed that he referred to the account
of one Of the partners. but he could not tell what
he did with it when he was through. II don't
know when the books were taken or by whom.
s'If any one but yourself took them from your
office from whom did he receive permission or

"whyT

In response to Mr.. Adams, his attorney, Mr..
Ives said there was nothing lacking in the books
turned over which would prevent the assignee
from making a complete schedule. In reply to
the referee who questioned Mr.. Ives sharply,
be reiterated that hs knew nothing about the

From the London Standard.
There is an impression en- this side Of the At
lanJc that railway accidents in America
mainly due to the craze for swift travel which
characterzes cousins in the world. In
reality the American trains travel, as a rule.
much more slowly than ours, and with less
average of casualties than ia yearly put at the
doors of the English railway companies. For
instance, the express trains between New York
and Albany average only twenty nine and two
eighths miles per hour, though the track is al
most level, while the Flying Scotchman" av-
erages fifty miles over a considerable part of the
distance between London and Edinburgh. Be-
tween New York and Boston the speed is rarely
over thirty-two and two-thirds miles hour,
though the course is much easier than that be-
tween London and Manchester, which is some
times traversed at the rate OF forty-seven and
three-ffths miles an hour. This speed is, in
deed. only attained by one American line-what
may be called the "Limi ted Mail, /" between New
York and Chicago, which charges a heavy extra
fare for the accommodation afforded. Taking
them all round. the best English trains exceed
those Of America fully twenty-five per cent. in

The Western Freight Bureau.

CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-Chairman J. N Faithorn,
of the Western railway freight bureau left yester-
day for Omaha where he will remain for time
arranging association matters at that point.
There are number of important questions to
be looked after. among them the settlement re-
gardng the agreement recently made with the
Omaha live stock shippers in reference to live
stock stopped at Omaha en- route to Chicago, and
giving the shipments the benefit of through
rates. The main point was agreed to several
weeks ago, but there are some details about
the through billing and keeping these distinct
from the purely local yet to be fixed. There will
also be conference with Vice president
Potter, of the Union Pacific, in regard to the
contemplated advance in the Union Pacific
bridge tolls, action which postponed
until Sept. l. If Mr.. Potter insists upon doubt
ing the charges, as he contemplated a month
ago, the Chicago roads will undou bredly add the
advance to the Omaha rates. or. in other words,
will make distinction between Omaha and
Council Bluffs equal to the increase, instead of
equalizing the charges as at present. Chairman
Faithorn has recently turned to Superin-
tendent Carman the inspection bureau at
Omaha, and will issue the proper instructions
to that effect TO his old subordinates the Mis-
souri, river. These and other matters, and the
action taken. will be duly reported at the next
managers meeting.

ANSWER FILED.-Some time since Mrs.
Kate Van Auken, of this city, filed bill in
equity in Washington, claiming that part OF
the estate OF her brother, George w. Adams,
of which his widow, Jane l.. Adams, is adj
ministrstrix, rightfully belongs to her, IN
view of the fact that her brother had never
made proper settlement OF their fathers es'
tate Mrs. Adams reply was filed on Mon
day. In it she states that she has no knowl-
edge of any will of her father in.law, and
that instead of being trustee of Mrs. Van
Auken's property her husband was her cred
itor. She also denies that her husband
left any will. She states further that her
father-in.law died intestate in 1862, and
that her husband did not surrender his
interest in the estate. After two attempts
by the trustee to sell the property. G. w
Adams bought it, expended considerable
money on it, and sold it in 1870 for 81 600
In the meantime thu rent was devoted to
the use of the widow, Catherine Adams, and
her daughter Kate. Whatever money was
due them they had received directly or indi
rectly. She concludes by characterizing the
charge that the will had bsen made way
with by her consent or to her knowledge as
false aud malicious.

OLD WATCHES. following was
published in one of the Washington papers
to-day: "There was sale Of watches and
iewelry at Alexandria yesterday. The e.
tate of BENJAMIN F. Barton, who died about
six months ago at the advanced age OF 80
years, is being settled up, and the contents
OF the old safe, about which there was 80
much curiosity, came under the autioneer's
hammer. The antique timepieces, many OF
them valuable, were sold at rdlculously
low prices but the greatest bargain of the
day was secured by Mr.. Louis Brill, who
purchased for the sum of 10 cents watch
which was the property of the famous Dan
ie Webster. The watch is one OF those
large, clumsy, old fashioned, open faced con-
Germs so common during the early part OF
this century the dial plate is of porcelain,
and the hours arc indicated ny figures in
stead of numerals. The glass which protects
the face is g heavy "bullseye," and the case
is of enameled gold, quite heavy In the
back of the case was found two pieces OF
parchment on one of them was the date
August /. 1922 on the other. To be re-
paired for Daniel Webster" The ink was
faded and the inscription hardly decipher-
able. The relic is q valuable one, and must
have been in the possession OF Mr.. Barton
ever since the date given, at which time he
did large amount of watch repairing for
prominent men in and around Washington.
Another watch, similar, with gold cases, was
left there by Fairfax Avery on August IA,
1907 that also was sold for 10 cents"
It's sad duty to be compelled 10 spoil q
good relic, but that Daniel Webster, the ia
nous lawyer, statesman, &C., never saw the
watch referred to above may be asserted
with confidence. About the year 1927 a
colored man bearing the name of Daniel
Webster brother to James Webster, a we'll
known carpenter of this city, lived here
with the late Robert I. Taylor, and the
watch doubtless belonged to him ard was
taken to Mr.. Barton for repairs and never
called for

TAKEN TO RICHMoND.-It was stated IN
the GAZETTE yesterday that Mr.. John B.
Baegett had been arrested on a telegram
from the Richmond authorities, and locked
up to await the arrival here of an ofhcer
from that city, on the charge OF grand lar
ceny. This morning Sergeant J. A. Cosby
arrived here from Richmond with warrant
for Baggett, which charges that at various
lines within the past year he had stolen
and carried away upwards of 5000 in money
for w. F. Clarke. This evening Sergeant
Cosby took Baggett back to Richmond
with him and Mr. J. Nj. Johnson, counsel
for Baggett, accompanied him. Baggett,
who is relative of Clarke, says the whole
stair grew out of family quarrel, and that
Clarke owes him money which he does not
want to pay. The Richmond Dispatch OF
to day says:
Sergeant Junius A. Cosby leaves on the
early train this morning for Alexandria,
where he goes for man named John b.
Baggett, who is wanted here to answer the
charge of stealing $3.50 from Mr.. w. f.
Clarke. Mr.. Clarke conducts the grocery
business at 612 west Broad street and had
Baggstt in his employ until he was dis
charged recently. Not long after he had
left Clarke lodged complaint with the police
lhst ne had been robbed by him to the
amouct of $3.50 or $500, and Major Poe,
chief OF police, telegraphed to the chief of
police of alexandria to arrest the accused,
and Telegram received later stated that
the arrest had been made and the prisoner
was held subject to order"
